C looks like Hong Kong but I don't think any railways in HK have third rail so I'm a bit confused.

Nope, nowhere near.

Doesn't help when you can fly!

True, but I didn't fly on the days that I took any of these (except

.

F is a short train ride from D and E. G to J are all within 25 miles of each other as the crow flies (further by train).

H looks vaguely Chinese.

Correct! See if you can narrow it down a bit.

It's not Japan, but looking at that page there are some similarities (such as the repeater signals that look like "Toton" indicators"). There is very probably some Japanese influence.

Okay, today's choice.

CDWFG - four photos of the same location:
#1
#2
#3
#4

I'll add that this is the one passing loop on a single track line, and that the only way off the "up" platform in picture 3 is to walk across the tracks directly in front of the train sitting in the "down" platform.

Three others, all taken on the same day as CDWFG.

CDWFH - I'm fairly convinced this is their version of a three-aspect banner repeater. The normal signalling is colour-light aspects and, if it helps, I twice saw a signal showing a steady red and flashing yellow - in one case the yellow was below the red, in the other it was to the left.

(By the way, it's left-hand running; this was taken out of the back window.)

CDWFI - I have no guess as to what this signal or indicator is for.

CDWFJ - this is showing white, not yellow.

Chinese with japanese signalling made me think of Taiwan and a bit of googling came up with Shifen on the Pingxi line for CDWFG.

Still looking for CDWFH, CDWHI & CDWHJ, but at least I know what country to look at now!
